Yeah, but it's totally "OK" to mock-behead him. Hypocrites.
Judith and the Head of Holofernes (also known as Judith I) is an oil painting by Gustav Klimt created in 1901. It depicts the biblical character of Judith holding the severed head of Holofernes.

Off topic FYI:
Not saying it was okay, by any means, but most people don't realize that KG was satirically reenacting the famous painting of the Jewish heroin Judith, who beheaded an evil oppressor of Israel. NOT SAYING WHAT KG did was okay, but she wasn't emulating ISIS, she was emulating a Jewish female war hero.

Again, very bad thing for KG to do! But this brick thing isn't much of a step up, IMO
Not, you know, just trying to express that she pretty much wants him dead.
To equate these two in any way is border line insanity.

And if You think the taxpayer won't be PAYING for the bricks, whether they be virtual or the finest hand-made adobe made from the Indigenous Peoples, You just 'might' have sniffed some glue, or the ink that was used to make the picture..
Hills then announced their "Brickstarter." The show launched a website in which you click a button and pledge to add a brick to the proposed wall along the Canada-U.S. border.
Wonder how long it will take for real bricks to start arriving through windows following the call.

Not surprised to see the anti-free expression folks against this.
Oh well.

That too. For sure!

I disagree. Calling for Trump supporters to send bricks to Trump's opposition invokes images of rioters sending bricks through windows. It's a not so subtle dog whistle that encourages violent imagery. Which is why it's thought of as clever, controversial and people are talking about it.
It's 100% about a wall and 0% bout bricks being thrown through windows.
